Tutu Problem (?) and broken swords

Remove all ads!

I've been playing BG1 via BGTutu and one thing I've noticed is that swords don't break the way they used to. In the original game, a sword would break every few days due to the iron crisis and often strand you in the middle of a fight without a useable weapon. But with Tutu installed it seems that swords aren't breaking. Is this intentional? It *was* a pain in the original game though it fit in with the storyline.

Also got TOB installed though whether this makes any difference I couldn't say.

 

There are many bugs within tutu. There is another way of playing BG with BG2 GFX which might solve the problem but it is a bigger download and I don’t know where you could find it, I am sure I seen it in a thread in the BG section. Anyway, it is hardly a problem.

 

Do you Baldur's Gate Trilogy? I read that was a 650 MB download which I'm a bit reluctant to bother with even on broadband.

Anyway it's no big deal. Most of my characters have magic weapons now so their swords aren't breaking. I just thought I'd mention this.

 

I noticed this as well. There's a fixpack in the works, so hopefully a soltuion will be knocked out.

 

I assume it was because it's running on the SoA engine, and weapons don't break in SoA. I had not noticed this myself, but now that you mention it, the times that I did so through BG Tutu, I don't recall any broken weapons.

 

This got talked about in the Tutu forum (sorry, for some reason I can't connect to it & give you a pointer). Yeah, weapons don't break in SoA; they talked about how they might be able to simulate it by putting weapons on charges, but that's all I remember. Japeth et al are aware, they just really don't have a good way of dealing with it (kind of like the one-liners from commoners).
